Over 15000
Jesuits across the world
DIVIDED INTO SIX CONFERENCES
Provinces &
Regions
While most people encounter Jesuits locally in schools and other ministries, when one becomes a Jesuit, one joins the universal Society not a particular province and so Jesuits commit themselves to being available for mission anywhere.
What unites us all in our diversity is our connection with Jesus Christ and the Gospel. This is the source of the creativity of the Society and of the people with whom we share the mission as Superior General, Arturo Sosa SJ, affirms.
The Superior General of the Society of Jesus is elected to serve as head of the Jesuits across the world. His office is in Rome, Italy. The present Superior General is Fr Arturo Sosa from Venezuela; he was elected in 2016.
Along with Jesuits and other partners in mission working in the headquarters he helps Jesuits to realise the mission to be joyful agents of the Gospel and servants Christ’s mission. The Society’s is for the greater glory of God.
If you wish to make a donation by direct bank transfer please contact Fr Paul Hamill SJ treasurer@jesuits.africa. Fr Paul will get in touch with you about the best method of transfer for you and share account details with you. Donations can be one-off gifts or of any frequency; for example, you might wish to become a regular monthly donor of small amounts; that sort of reliable income can allow for very welcome forward planning in the development of the Society’s works in Africa and Madagascar.
Often it is easier to send a donation to an office within your own country and Fr Paul can advise on how that might be done. In some countries this kind of giving can also be recognised for tax relief and the necessary receipts will be issued.
